June 2017

Oct. 26 & 27, 2017. Halifax, NS. What would a different conversation about the relationship between race, place, and the environment in Indigenous and African Nova Scotian communities look like? How can we engage in a more inclusive conversation about the social justice dimensions of the environment? This free public and academic symposium will bring together American, Nova Scotian, and Canadian experts to engage in a solution-based, cross-cultural conversation about some of the most salient issues of our times, and their impacts on our most vulnerable communities who are all too often left out of the conversation.
